Alternative Requirement for Urban Experience

I helped them solve their assignments and teach them techniques in solving. A lot of students are having difficulty when it comes to problem solving. Problem solving is not easy at first, but following the right strategies and steps you would arrive to the correct answer. I make sure that I teach my students step by step in solving the problems and guide them in applying the techniques I taught them.

As I mentioned before aside from working with the students, school psychologists also work with teachers, parents, and even school administrators to help solve some of the more complex issues within the education system. They collaborate to identify and resolve learning barriers and behavior issues that impede school success, support students who may be struggling with other issues, create a strong home-school connection with the parents help, create a positive environment for everyone, and several other tasks that improve the overall functionality of the educational system as a whole, meanwhile providing a nurturing environment for the students, parents, and staff.

Children of all levels can learn to point out errors in their own thinking as well as their peer’s thinking. Matthew Lipman’s ideas can be seen in the video, “Philosophy for Children”.

Teachers also need to be supported in a classroom with special needs children.

When students enroll in self-defense, they would have a partner or partners that they practice with. They have to learn different situations and techniques with each other and are also forced to problem solve together. This increases social activity and cooperation which lacks in many classrooms. Moreover, students learn to respect one another and their abilities which is also very useful when working on a classroom project or activity. Dr. Gong Chen, a professor of San Jose’s State University’s department of Kinesiology, and author of five published self-defense books, noted that throughout a study on student training, the students showed respect to the adults and their peers.

Effective teachers guide students to link new information to other information that they already know and are familiar with. Teachers many times use examples from everyday life to bring in familiar experiences. Educators must take an active role to help our students help remember the material they are taught. Extensive research has been conducted to demonstrate that learning new material is difficult for many students, whether they have been diagnosed with a disability or not. Many researchers feel that mnemonics is one of the most effective ways to help students remember facts that they need to know and use in the classroom as well as throughout their adult lives.

However, student learning goes beyond direct instruction. In order for student learning to occur, teachers also must engage their students within the lesson, establish a positive, learning environment, and most importantly, assess their students. Student learning begins with teachers engaging students in their lesson through inquiry and peer interactions. In the field of mathematics and science, there are teachers who simply provide example problems on a black board and explain them verbally for the entire duration of the class. Although these teachers accommodate visual and auditory learners, teachers should also receive feedback from the students during the instruction to evaluate if they are actually learning.

Today I used a variety of instructional delivery methods to ensure that my students were able to accomplish the learning targets. Having different modes of instruction (direct instruction, individual writing, pair-share, small group discussion, large group discussion, etc.) allows students to demonstrate learning in a variety of ways. If students do not master a key skill, it also provides students to relearn, rework, and rethink key concepts. This type of instructional design also encourages engagement as it appeals to multiple learning styles and builds in time for me to interact with students in multiple ways (including one-on-one) (IE: Chloe can be quieter.

We have worked in groups and collaborated on the big ideas of each unit. On our own we have presented to the class both answered problems and productive failures. We have enjoyed reading books and articles related to math, teaching, and this course. We have learned through inquiry based learning and were able to use other materials such as manipulatives, videos, and our peers. As individuals and a class we were able to reflect on what is working, why its working, and how to be best prepared to be math teachers.

General Overview of the Cooperative and Competitive Learning Structures In this research paper I will review the learning structures of cooperative and competitive learning. These are two different methods that are used to motivate students to enhance their learning experience in the classroom. Researchers, psychologist, and educators are among the many that have been trying to figure out which strategy is most appropriate for classroom instruction. Both are widely used in today’s classrooms and each of them have positive and negative consequences for students and their learning. By deciphering through previous and current research, I will determine which method is the best.
